Can anyone help i.d. this shark tooth? I found it, along with 5 others in the Shark River of new Jersey 20 years ago. The other 5 were lost over time, so this is the only one I have left. Hope to make a trip again their someday.... Thanks all! Bone

Hi, I understand SC is pretty strict with using implements to dig around on state lands, like creeks. However, does anyone know how this applies to public beaches? I would like to hunt Folly. Can I dig into the sand with a shovel to sift through with my sieve? If not, can I use my hand to load up the sieve? I'm questioning whether a sieve can be used at al.

Would this tooth be considered pathological because of this cusp twisting in or is this common.......thanks

Hi, bought this Megalodon tooth recently from the Hawthorn Formation in South Carolina. I noticed it had this ridges on the side, wondered if anyone knew what they were from. Thanks.

Sup, I’m in Wilmington North Carolina. I’m a relatively new fossil hunter/diver but have pretty decent experience/finds under my belt ranging from a few hundred offshore Megs/Whites/Makos etc. Even some Nice finds diving the Tar River near Tarboro N.C. IM LOOKING INFO ON NEW RIVER/CREEK SPOTS TO DIVE FOR TEETH in N.C. In exchange for my knowledge/spots. Feel free to ask questions or contact info if interested, Thanks, Chad

Reeled this is 7-8 years ago out of the broad river in Beaufort, SC about 7 miles inland from the port royal sound.

This tooth came from the Finis Shale at Jacksboro Texas. That's in the Virgil Series, Cisco Group, Graham Formation, Late Pennsylvanian. It seems large for Orodus variabilis and has some extra odd protrusions on the lingual side that don't match the smaller ones I usually find. Is there another species we can find there or is this normal? @JGM

Was recently in Costa Rica and found these on the beach. Have found many black sharks teeth in the Carolinas but wasn’t sure if these were also? Any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA

It was found in Abbey Wood, which is a late Cretaceous to Mid Eocene area.

What type of (probably shark) tooth is this? Found in Reculver, UK
KingSepron posted a topic in Fossil ID
Probably Mako, right?

We’ve had some dispute about this shark tooth. Bought on the Isle of Wight in a box labelled “Sand Shark teeth”
KingSepron posted a topic in Fossil ID
Me and my friends are convinced this isn’t a sand shark tooth. But we can’t agree on what it is, between Cretolamna and Otodus (of course it could be neither, we are idiots)

So, I bought this shark tooth, but I don't even know if it is a fossil (the guy who I bought it from said it was a fossil, but idk if I can trust his words). Can someone help me identify if it is a fossil and from which type of shark it is?

This would have been a monster cretaceous tooth for Northeast Texas.

Hello all, today I went to a popular fossil park in Ladonia, TX. I found some awesome gastropods, bacculites, and some other cool shells. The find of the day ended up being another tooth. I really like how this one looks. I think it is maybe a goblin shark tooth, but i am a total noob with fossils in this area and would appreciate any input from you awesome fossil forum members. I also found a little black hoof shaped thing. I wasn't sure if this was anything worth keeping but I pocketed it to be safe.

Hello Everyone! I found this tooth a while back at a Ypresian, Eocene site (Nanjemoy Formation, Woodstock Member.) It puzzled me for a while, I assumed it was a weird Otodus or something until someone IDed it as a Cretalamna at a local fossil club. Apparently they have their last gasps in Maryland’s Ypresian. However, I was then informed by some people familiar with the roughly contemporaneous London Clay that it looks more similar to Parotodus pavlovi. That species is not yet described from the formation, and despite reaching out to a few collectors who have collected this formation extensively, I cannot find anyone else with one. What say you all?

I compared my shark tooth to different shark teeth images on google and think that it came from an Angustidens shark? Am I correct? Thanks guys!

Hey y'all, this is a shark tooth I found a couple months ago in post oak creek. I initially thought it was a cretodus, but now I'm having second thoughts. The 4th and 5th pictures are cretoxyrhina vraconensis and dwardius woodwardi, respectively. Thanks!

@caldigger post on finding two pieces of the same tooth reminded me of the tooth I found in New Zealand many years ago. The site is closed now, so I don’t think there is a chance of finding the root. But is there anyone on here that could accept this challenge? I’ll pay of course! Tooth overlying picture of complete tooth of same size and position showing the missing root. The slightly trickier bit is on the back where the root/enamel transition is partially missing. Scale bar = 2 inches total. A few more images of the tooth;

Method to determine shark development stage from teeth
David in Japan posted a topic in Questions & Answers
To all the shark expert of the forum. Is there any method or features to look for in order to determine if a shark tooth comes from a juvenile or an adult. I know that in a species well documented or largely collected, it can be easily determined by the size of the tooth. However in the case of a not well- documented or isolated tooth, is there a feature that could hint for the development stage of the specimen? Thank you, David
